New Puppet

[Artsy]

I am just getting into including developing a puppet routine.
Since my name is Artsy, my puppet is "Smartsy" and is my wisen-heimer crackerjack. I don't want to spend a fortune to buy one so I decided to make my own puppet. I have theater experience making props and costumes, so it's just a matter of time before I settle on a design and create it.

(If I could buy it, my dream puppet would be the Corny Crow from Axtell) Does anyone have one to sell for a few crackers?

Anyhow-- Smartsy the Crow is my wiseguy (get it? WISE GUY? Smartsy?) Crows are VERY smart and that's one of the reasons why I chose this particular character.

I also want to include him in a finale trick where he disappears from his cage (and into the nearby suitcase ha ha) and muffle the voice using a prerecorded tape player in the suitcase as he later reappears wearing a hawaiian lei and sunglasses to tell us all about his trip (or something like that) haven't figured it out yet. Since my character is all about Art, I'm thinking of having him reappear wearing a beret like me and just returned from the Louvre. I can make a few punny jokes about the Mona Lisa, etc.

I hope all this chatter helps you to get a spark of an idea for your own puppet use. Puppets have purpose. Find one that you really connect to and take it from there!
